Passing Parameters With Httpurlconnection

With the old Apache stuff deprecated in API 22, I am finally getting around to updating my network stuff. Using openConnection() seems pretty straight forward. However, I have not

Solution 1:

I fixed it like this:

HttpURLConnectionconn= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoOutput(true);
        conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

Here is parameter stuff:

String charset = "UTF-8";
        String s = "unit_type=" + URLEncoder.encode(MainActivity.distance_units, charset);
        s += "&long=" + URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(MainActivity.mLongitude), charset);
        s += "&lat=" + URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(MainActivity.mLatitude), charset);
        s += "&user_id=" + URLEncoder.encode(String.valueOf(MyndQuest.userId), charset);

        conn.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(s.getBytes().length);
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
        out.print(s);
        out.close();
